The customization in this game just puts everything else out there to shame. The part where they show the user dynamically dragging out and growing hair, then styling it, is just insane.
I love how the first few seconds is like "look! bewbs!"
I have to admit, if I buy the game..I'm gonna make a hot babe character.....
o_O
There's nothing wrong with that. I usually make female characters when given the option. Games are usually too many dudes, and I'm like "Where's the boobies?"
Is this comming to 360 still?

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I've always stuck with my own gender for the most part. That whole thing about staring at a woman's ass being more fun is bullshit; it's a videogame. I've never - yet - wanted to fuck anything I've seen in a videogame.

Well my comment was pending you can have multiple characters.
Though...I sadly look pathetic in that I have seen video game characters that I would fuck if given the opportunity and if they were real :O

Any idea if there're gonna be real cars or Burnout-style Generic Car Brands in this? I think one trailer had a Nissan GTR, so I'd guess they're taking real cars.
this is an awesome thing

Sorry, it's all pseudo-brands. Lots of lookalikes with funny names and slightly changed features.
Last.fm will also be incorporated into the game. At any given time you can play the soundtrack you load via your last.fm account. While watching the video, a player drove by and you could hear music coming from that players car. IT was explained to us that we are not necessarily hearing exactly what that player is listening to, rather you are hearing the closest song in your own library to what they are hearing via music tags. In essence it will seem like everyone in your world will have the exact same taste in music as you do.
Will you be dealing out Justice from one mile away Flippy?
Thugs look up from their TV raid and see a blue dot slowly moving towards them. The first shot disables their vehicle engine. The second shot takes out the driver. The criminals drop the TVs and start running but by then it is too late...
Because you have just met The Snipah.
I'm hoping we get Police Helicopters in this game for rapid deployment to crime scenes and following chases, nothing would make me happier than dropping a SWAT team right on top of a crime scene.
If that Last.FM integration works well though, we should get a Penny Arcade list of approved tracks to play out of our radios so everyone knows what to look out for - every chase having a different police TV show theme tune!

Sounds good enough.
I think I read at some point that if possible, the game would stream the exact track (or a similar one) from Last.fm even if you don't have it. Kinda sucks if the music you hear for other people will be limited to what you have on your own computer.

Oh sweet, you can customize your cars too? I wonder how vehicles are going to work, will you have a garage you can go to where you can quickly pick up saved cars?

Seeing the level of destruction, i'd imagine they probably will have something quickly available like that. I'd put money on some sort of Organisation based storage as well - I.E your Police Headquarters or Criminal Hideouts will be a one stop shop for rearming and getting new vehicles.
It will be interesting to see how they handle rewards for Organisations, as a couple of the articles have hinted at bonuses for successful groups either taking over a territory or cleaning up that area.
And Willeth, I guess you might get a kick out of this, I found it accidently whilst looking for the Naked Gun intro movie.
Thank you for registering your interest in APB: All Points Bulletin. We’re happy to tell you that we are now inviting applications for beta testers! You have the chance to be one of the first people to visit San Paro and have “hands on” experience with the world of APB!
Just click on the link below to start our beta application process. Don’t worry, your personal information is safe, we will never pass it on to third parties. All the questions are aimed at making sure we get a broad cross section of players and the best possible selection for our beta testing process. http://www.apb.com/beta-application/
Once you’ve completed the application, we’ll keep you in our pool of beta players. We will have multiple rounds of selection, so if you don’t hear back straight away, you may still be chosen later in the process.
Meantime, why not visit our website at www.apb.com to find out the latest news on the game or subscribe to our podcast to get a behind the scenes look at the game being developed and meet the team.
Thank you and we hope to see you in game soon!
— APB Team
Signed up for the beta, boyos. This is looking pretty interesting, and I will say that I'm glad we're going cops. Laying down the law as a group, bringing some serious teamwork to it, will make things more fun for us and for the criminals. Instead of, "Oh shit, here come some players from the other faction!" it'll actually be, "Oh shit, it's the cops!"

Someone needs to design one bitchin' Police Party Van that people can ride in.

A new APB podcast is up here. It's got more footage from the Mark Rein playthough stuff, explaining a few things in game.
I honestly can't decide if i want to focus on Enforcers or Criminals in this game. The more i hear about it, the more intriguing it seems the Enforcers are... more of a hunt and find game... where you hunt criminals down.
Where as the criminals are more trying not to get caught ( that seems obvious ).
I kinda like the idea of coming down hard on some 15 year old urban gangster wannabe in the middle of his crime and ruining his day for being a complete douchebag. And the idea that there might be more mature, dangerous... and witty criminals out there to test my skill.
Hell ill just say it. Enforcer is the way to go.
God im glad i put together a new rig this summer. It will be perfect for running this game.

Ever. The graphics are also most impressive.

I would love to drive using the control pad....I guess I could always buy one for the pc (but not sure how well that would turn out)

Getting a whole game as well is good though
If someone ever came out with some Universal Character Customization tool, and a number of games allowed you to import your model from it and use .
*note I realize this isn't realistic*
I would pay good moneys...
i dunno
if you mde it work with say, Unreal 3 engine-based games, i think it could be feasable
Also, if they're lettin' you pimp out a Mini Couper, they damn well better let me go cruisin' around in a blinged-out Gremlin or somethin'.
No. A "SUCK IT" gesture is much more important.
i have another great idea for a character, and i call dibs
Who is Ronnie Cordova?

He wants their alien brothers to know that they're gay.
That is one incredible customization tool.

@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
as long as it includes the "POLICE SQUAD! IN COLOR!" part, then this is a must for all PA'ers
My 'guild' will be called the Police Cops.
And that's the end of that chapter...

DOA is the inept one.
"We aren't requiring a subscription."
Hmm, maybe they're thinking about having it free, but have micro transactions.

MOVE LEFT STUPID CAMERA.
A bunch of us in SE++ are making an enforcer group, you're all welcome to join in.
I think we're talking normal ruleset instead of chaos.
I'm probably the only one who would have found that more amusing had they used the Voice Actor's names instead 8-)
Yeah.
